an individual of great experience and stature, who I will honored to have playing an important role on my staff. |
Cheney's audience is people who care about substance, and when he talks they listen, and the base, who wants to see him fight, and when he fights they follow, |

Follow me if I advance, kill me if I retreat, avenge me if I die |
For our government to go securely forward, the heads of it need to be separated, and he accepts that as part of the job. |
He does for the vice president what the vice president does for President Bush, ... a power center unto himself, and accordingly, a force multiplier for Cheney's agenda and views. |
He is relentlessly even-keeled and is going to do what he's going to do. He's the furthest thing from a whiner. |
He is to the vice president what the vice president is to the president. |
He was not careless or incautious or violate any of the [rules]. He didn't do anything he wasn't supposed to do. |
He was strategic in thinking that the way to respond to this problem was to take out the reasons and what sustained the enemy. |
He who looks in the crystal ball ends up eating glass, ... They're way, way close. |
He's a scholar and somewhat of an academic, and has studied our history and America's place in the world, in history, and believes that all the progress of the last century, or a goodly portion of it -- eradication of tyrants and communism and fascism and Hitlerism -- was a direct result of the strength of the United States of America and their willingness to use their strength for good. |
He's almost a principal ... not a staff guy, |
He's not going to hold it against whoever said whatever about him. But it's a good thing not to forget, and it's a good thing to know who your friends are. |
He's very inventive about problem solving. He has the infinite and unwavering trust of Dick Cheney, which is no small thing. |
